life as an immobile kid

chapter 5

Everyone is gone, in fact, i'm somewhere else.
I learned I can speak, but can I move? I don't want to move, it's so relaxing here, why should I move?
Marigolds surround me, its night time, so many lightning bugs surround me, it's Heaven.
I could just fall asleep, all the pain is gone.

Lizz's eyes peacefully close, as we sit, crying. First she laughed, then screamed and cried, Lizz hit the wall. She never even got to spend a week here, with us, no, because of us...
Lizz, I speak for all of us, we are sorry, so sorry.

Just wait.

Of course its raining.
Today, no one is happy. Its the tenth year that our friend passed. She was paralyzed, but when we took her down the hill, she crashed into the stone wall. I didn't mean to let go, if I did, she would just land in the Marigolds we had spread for her. When we visited her, she had a lot of dead marigolds. Us three decided that we would do something nice, not kill her. I am living at home, alone. Aunt Bee died of old age, Sparrow moved out when he was old enough. Mom was put in jail for drinking too much, and Hunter is in a coma, when he crashed in a car crash. I always carry Lizz's ash with me, along with a Marigold, and a L cut from her wheel chair. One day, Lizz, we will fly together, see the world, don't give up on me, dont give up on us, we will come. That I can promise.
